| Workers' smoking habits changed when the ban came into effect. |
According to a Spanish study, 5 percent of workers gave up smoking when the law took effect, and the overall numbers were reduced from 40.3% to 35.3% of smoking workers.
Men and women of all ages and occupations quit smoking after the ban.
The study examined the consumption of tobacco in the working population during the first months of a smoking ban that forbade smoking in all public spaces, including bars and restaurants.
The study involved 413,473 workers of all ages and occupations and followed their smoking habits for two years ending in June 2011.
The study’s findings were published in the journal Revista Española de Salud Pública.
The study authors found that even amongst workers who continued to smoke, there was a decrease in the amount of tobacco consumed.
The researchers argue that the study proves the health benefits of regulatory and fiscal policies when it comes to smoking.

Provide better indoor air quality at the workplace
Bars and restaurants that previously allowed smoking may suffer from lingering odors and irritants that can spoil a customer’s experience.

| Specially equipped air cleaners can handle stale smoke and more. |
Air freshening products do not provide a satisfactory solution because they can be irritants in themselves and they only cover up existing smells while contributing to indoor air pollution.
A better way to deal with lingering smoke odors is ventilation and air cleaning. The ventilation system itself may not be enough to handle the odors, but an air cleaner with many pounds of activated carbon and HEPA filters can help provide cleaner and healthier air.
Electrocorp has designed air cleaners for the hospitality industry that provide some of the largest adsorbent surface areas and longest-lasting filters in the industry.
Electrocorp also offers air cleaners for other commercial and industrial applications, helping workers in various industries to breathe cleaner air.

I suggest you Google for electronic cigarettes to check out how well established this business
ReplyDeleteis, and how gigantic the range is for these much less dangerous products is.
What really annoys me, are the number of posts in the press saying
how dreadful they are. It seems, Big Pharma
- the manufacturers of harm reduction smoking aids are funding an anti e-cigarette war - less
so the fag firms (as one might presume), as many are starting to think of making them.
I can really appreciate the improvements of e cigarettes.
Just stating - that there is always some reason with these faceless entities trying to prohibit e cigs -
our country's masters could do a lot more too. It makes me so angry.
I will be bereft if they ban them. Not had a fag for 7 months now thanks to using an e-cigarette.
I am a supporter of these e cigs. Thanks "Anti-tobacco law inspires workers to quit smoking".
